Some Middle-Class Christians...

It seems hard for some middle-class Christians to accept the concept of abortion.  They may not know that some prospective mothers and fathers may suffer from addictions, co-dependency, abuse or abusiveness, mental health problems, lack of education and job skills, poverty, being adopted themselves [and not adjusting well to it], or other problems....  Some problems may be short-term while others can often be long-term and even generational.

Pre-natal care and influences are important, and adoption isn't a simple matter, in my opinion.  Children can inherit negative tendencies from their parents, for one thing.  If the birth parents weren't functional enough, for whatever reason, there's no assurance their children will do better....  I've seen a lot of adopted people in my lifetime and I'd say about 50% of them have done well, while the others didn't do as well or had serious problems.

Just a few things to think about....
